Woman with Disability Sees Father-In-Law Leading Her Kids into Woods and Returning without Them – Story of the Day
A woman awakens from a coma to discover that her husband had died, then she sees her father-in-law take her two young children into the woods.
When Erin Tyrell woke up, she couldn’t remember where she was supposed to be. Everything hurt, and she felt woozy. She put her hand up to her head, and someone sitting next to her got up.
